Steelers continue to build momentum while leaving the Bengals in a funk

It was another one of those Twilight Zone moments in the Queen City. Just at that marvelous second with the clock winding down in the final quarter — when Antonio Brown grabbed a perfect Ben Roethlisberger pass in full stride and split the Bengals’ defensive seam for the game-winning touchdown — you almost expected Rod Serling to walk out and deliver one of his deadpan monologues about the uncanny twists of fate. A Cincinnati crowd — which only a few minutes earlier had allowed themselves to believe the Bengals were on their way to a dominant season — sat in shocked silence with nothing left to do except trudge out of Paul Brown Stadium cringing under the whoops and whistles of visiting Steelers fans.
